"'''Ice Barrier'''" ({{Infobox/Archetype/EndRuby|氷|ひょう}}{{Ruby|結|けっ}}{{Ruby|界|かい}} ''Hyōkekkai'') is an [[archetype]] consisting of [[WATER]] [[Monster Card|monsters]] resembling, for the most part, famous concepts, figures, warriors, and mythological beings of different Asian cultures. Their team symbol resembles a hexagonal snowflake.

==Lore=={{Main|Duel Terminal Master Guide card storylines|The '''Ice Barriers''' are an archetype consisting of [[WATER]] [[Attribute]] monsters resembling for the most part famous concept, figures, warriors, and mythological beings of different asian cultures, that focus on increasing field advantage while making use of a strong hand advantageValuable Book EX card storylines#No. 10: Duel Terminal World Addendum: The core monsters Sealing of this archetype are the Three Dragons|Master Duel card storylines#Alliance for Justice}}<div style="float:right">[[Synchro Monsters]], [[Brionac, Dragon of the Ice Barrier]], [[Dewloren, Tiger King of the Ice Barrier]], [[Gungnir, Dragon of the Ice Barrier]], and [[Trishula, Dragon of the File:Crest-Ice Barrier]]. Other significant monsters are the svg|thumb|right|100px|The "Generals", [[General Gantala of the Ice Barrier]], [[General Grunard of the Ice Barrier" Crest]], and [[General Raiho of the Ice Barrier]].</div>

Most ==Playing style==The "Ice Barrier monsters require another " archetype consists of a large amount of their kind to be on the field to activate; in order to keep field advantage upMain Deck Effect Monsters, though, many Ice Barrier monsters have effects to protect one another. several [[Cryomancer of the Ice BarrierSynchro Monster]] forbids all s that act as boss monsters Level 4 or higher from attacking while another Ice Barrier monster , and some archetypal Spell/Trap support. The archetype's playstyle is focused on the field. Even better at shielding, though is [[Defender of the Summoning multiple different Main Deck "Ice Barrier]]" monsters, who, also requiring another Ice Barrier monster on combining their individual protection effects to handicap the fieldopponent, stops all and Synchro Summon its boss monsters that ''your to break the opponent'' controls with attack greater than or equal to its defense (1600 originally) from attacking, giving you free reign to attack with impunity. [[Dai-sojo of the Ice Barrier]] protects your monsters from being destroyed by Spells s board and Trapspush for game. [[General Raiho of the Ice Barrier]] can cripple an opponent who relies on a strategy of activating After multiple monster effects in a row, as it negates your opponents' monster effects unless they discard a card each time one activates; likewise, [[Secret Guards waves of the Ice Barrier]] protects your monsters from being targeted by monster effectssupport, such as those of [[Scrap Dragon]] and [[Ryko, Lightsworn Hunter]]. To help in swarming, [[General Grunard of the Ice Barrier]] adds an extra summon each turn (which can triple with [[Double Summon]]), and [[General Gantala latest iteration of the Ice Barrier]] can fetch other Ice Barrier monsters, even Synchros, from the graveyard each [[End Phase]], which Deck can not only bring back heavy-hitters that were taken down previously, but also bring back [[Defender of the Ice Barrier]] in [[Defense Position]] to hold off attacksperform this quite consistently.

While field advantage is important, though"[[Lancea, Dragonic Ancestor of the main strategy when using Ice Spirit Mountain]]" is a Level 10 Synchro Monster that can Summon an "Ice Barrier deck is keeping a high hand advantage and using " monster effects and spells to quickly bounce back from any situation. With a large the [[hand]], [[Magic Triangle of the Ice BarrierDeck]] is easy to use, and helps additionally to keep up your field advantage. Other spells that keep cards in your hand include [[Moray of GreedGY]] and or [[SalvageExtra Deck]]up to twice per turn, when the opponent Special Summons a monster. [[BlizzedThis card can single-handedly enable the lockdown effects of nearly every "Ice Barrier" monster, Defender and thus Summoning it is the focus of the modern play style of the archetype. It also has a second effect, which Special Summons an "Ice Barrier" monster from the Extra Deck (by treating it as a [[Synchro Summon]] and ) when it leaves the field due to the opponent's card. This can be combined with "[[DewlorenTrishula, Tiger King Dragon of the Ice Barrier]] help to keep hand advantage high. " or "[[Medallion Trishula, Zero Dragon of the Ice Barrier]] is an excellent card for an Ice Barrier deck", as it can bring any Ice Barrier monster to your hand, be it a monster required for a [[Synchro Summonbanish]]the opponent's cards. By combining both effects, "Lancea" alone puts a third monster for [[Magic Triangle lot of pressure on the opponent, especially when combined with the right "Ice Barrier]], a monster to be discarded for an effect that " monsters. "Lancea" can later be retrieved with [[Salvage]], or just a water monster for Summoned by many methods (as seen [[Moray of Greed#Sample combos|below]]'s cost).

The main reason a high hand advantage is important, though, is to facilitate Among the effects of two of the archetype's trump cardsmonsters that can be Summoned by "Lancea", "[[Brionac, Dragon General Raiho of the Ice Barrier]] " is one of the best targets, since it forces the opponent to discard a card in order to resolve their monster effects activated on the field, and [[Gungnirit does not require the player to control another "Ice Barrier" monster. "Georgius, Dragon Swordsman of the Ice Barrier]]. Brionac " is another great target, since it can return any card to its owner's hand at prevent the opponent from activating monster effects in the cost of discarding one card for each returnedGY, while Gungnir can destroy up and also Summon a second "Ice Barrier" monster from the hand or GY in order to two cards per turn at the cost on its effect. "[[Warlock of discarding the same number. By keeping a strong hand advantage, Brionac can make way for Ice Barrier]]" acts as an "[[OTKAnti-Spell Fragrance]]", while Gungnir can keep the pressure on your opponentpreventing both players from activating Spell Cards before Setting them, giving and forcing them fewer and fewer options while you constantly destroy their cardsto wait a turn before doing so.

Other good non-archetypal cards In order to use in an do so, the Deck possesses several monsters that bring "Ice Barrier deck are " monsters from the Deck. "[[Crystal SeerRevealer of the Ice Barrier]]" is the Deck's main starter, which helps keep hand advantage (but also gives you the bonus of not having being able to waste discard a draw on what could be a dead draw down card to Summon an "Ice Barrier" Tuner from the line), as well as Deck. "[[Gozen MatchHexa Spirit of the Ice Barrier]]", a Tuner monster, due can send any Level 3 or lower "Ice Barrier" monster from the Deck to the fact that the entire archetype is composed GY in order to modulate its Level. "[[Mirror Magic Master of the [[WATERIce Barrier]] ", also a Tuner monster, can search any "Ice Barrier" card when it is sent to the GY. It can also Tribute a monster to Summon up to 3 "[[AttributeIce Barrier Token]]s" and increase its Level. All of the Deck's main plays involve at least one (sometimes all) of these cards.

===="[[Monster Cards]]====* [[Dance Princess Medallion of the Ice Barrier]]* [[Cryomancer of " is the Ice Barrier]]* [[BlizzedDeck's main consistency card, Defender of the searching for any "Ice Barrier]]* " monster. "[[Dai-Sojo of Winds Over the Ice Barrier]]* [[Pilgrim " is a more risky option, Tributing any number of the "Ice Barrier]]* [[Medium of " monsters to Summon the Ice Barrier]]* [[Caravan same number of the "Ice Barrier]]* [[General Grunard of " monsters from the Ice Barrier]]* [[General Raiho of Deck.

Outside the Ice Barrier]]* archetype's cards, "[[Royal Knight of the Ice BarrierSmall World]]* [[Sacred Spirit of " is also a great option for the Ice Barrier]]* [[Secret Guards of Deck, since the Ice Barrier]]* only shared element between all cards is their [[Strategist of the Ice BarrierAttribute]]* ([[Geomancer of the Ice BarrierWATER]]* [[Defender of ), thus allowing the Ice Barrier]] ====player to trade any combo piece in their hand (or even hand traps such as "[[Spell CardsDroll & Lock Bird]]====<!-- This is not an exact Decklist.

====Finally, the Deck can use its several extenders to Summon its Extra Deck monsters. "[[Trap CardsTrishula, Dragon of the Ice Barrier]]====<!-- This " is not an exact Decklista classic boss monster that can banish up to 1 card from the opponent's hand, field and GY. "[[Trishula, Zero Dragon of the Ice Barrier]]" can banish up to 3 cards the opponent controls, instead. Do not add multiples "[[Brionac, Dragon of the Ice Barrier]]" and "[[Gungnir, Dragon of the Ice Barrier]]" are also removal options, that discard cards in order to [[bounce]] or staples[[destroy]] the opponent's cards.-->* "[[Royal OppressionDewloren, Tiger King of the Ice Barrier]]* " can [[Royal Decreereturn]]cards the player controls to the hand, which works perfectly with "Freezing Chains of the Ice Barrier".

====The archetype can also make use of other powerful Extra Deck monster, mainly WATER monsters. "Revealer" and "Speaker" can be used to [[Extra DeckXyz Summon]]====* "[[Brionac, Dragon of the Ice BarrierBahamut Shark]]* ", which can Summon "[[Gungnir, Dragon of the Ice BarrierToadally Awesome]]* ", a card able to negate and destroy any activated card. "Mirror Magic Master", combined with its 3 Tokens, plus another Token from "Speaker", can Synchro Summon "[[DewlorenRavenous Crocodragon Archethys]]", Tiger King of and allow the player to draw 4 cards. Any 2 "Ice Barrier" monsters can Summon "[[Marincess Coral Anemone]]* ", which is used to bring back "Mirror Magic Master" from the GY. By combining "Georgius" with any Level 4 monster, "[[TrishulaIcejade Gymir Aegirine]]" can be Summoned as well, Dragon protecting the player's cards from destruction and banishing the opponent's cards. Before locking itself into WATER monsters with the effects of "Revealer" and "Mirror Magic Master", the Ice Barrierplayer can also make use of "[[Baronne de Fleur]]", another Level 10 Synchro Monster that can negate the opponent's cards.

==General Rush=Tips===* "[[Icejade Ran Aegirine]]" is a perfect addition for the Deck, since it can [[Synchro Summon]] "[[Lancea, Dragonic Ancestor of the Ice Spirit Mountain]]" (or another Level 10 [[WATER]] [[Synchro Monster]]) by simply discarding another [[WATER]] monster to Summon itself and an "[[Icejade Token]]".* The one-card combo involving "[[Revealer of the Ice Barrier]]" to Summon "Lancea, Dragonic Ancestor of the Ice Spirit Mountain" and "[[Adamancipator Risen - Dragite]]" Summons "Lancea" as its [[List of unofficial terms#5th Summon|5th Summon]], thus allowing the player to Summon and use "[[Trishula, Dragon of the Ice Barrier]]" if the opponent uses "[[Nibiru, the Primal Being]]".* While "Revealer of the Ice Barrier" is often the Deck's starter, it can be quite useful to use "[[Hexa Spirit of the Ice Barrier]]" + either "[[Georgius, Swordsman of the Ice Barrier]]" or "[[Speaker for the Ice Barriers]]" instead. This can result in the same combo as using only "Revealer", but does not lock the player into WATER monsters (until "Mirror Magic Master" is used), thus allowing the player to Summon "[[Baronne de Fleur]]" before committing to the effect of "[[Mirror Magic Master of the Ice Barrier]]".** When doing so, "Mirror Magic Master" can use itself and a Token to Synchro Summon "[[Coral Dragon]]" to the [[Extra Monster Zone]], allowing "Speaker" to banish itself to Summon another Token, and then Synchro Summon "[[Ravenous Crocodragon Archethys]]", drawing 1 card from "Coral Dragon" and 3 from "Archethys".* It is important to remember that "Lancea, Dragonic Ancestor of the Ice Spirit Mountain" is ''not'' an "Ice Barrier" monster. As such, lockdown effects that require the player to control another "Ice Barrier" monster (such as "[[Warlock of the Ice Barrier]]") still require the player to Summon another "Ice Barrier" monster before being applied.* The Tokens Summoned by "Mirror Magic Master" are a great way to activate "[[Winds Over the Ice Barrier]]", trading them for several Main Deck "Ice Barrier" monsters. Among them, "[[Spellbreaker of the Ice Barrier]]" can be particularly useful, since its effect won't work if Summoned by "Lancea".

===Sample combos===Most "Ice Barrier" combos aim to Summon "[[Lancea, Dragonic Ancestor of the Ice Spirit Mountain]]" and other powerful [[WATER]] monsters. One such method is the following:{{Combo steps| opening = "[[Revealer of the most used Ice Barrier decks]]" + 1 card| end = "[[Lancea, Dragonic Ancestor of the General Rush focuses on using Ice Spirit Mountain]]" + "[[Adamancipator Risen - Dragite]]"| steps = # Summon "[[Magic Triangle Revealer of the Ice Barrier]] "# Activate "Revealer" by discarding a card to special summon Summon "[[General Grunard Hexa Spirit of the Ice Barrier]]. Then using his effect "# Activate "Hexa" to swarm send "[[Mirror Magic Master of the field with other Ice BarriersBarrier]]" from the Deck to the GY# Activate "Mirror Magic Master" to add "[[Georgius, and lock your opponent. This deck can synchro summon anything Swordsman of the Ice Barrier]]"# Activate "Georgius" to Summon itself from level 5 the hand# Activate "Georgius" to level 10Summon "Mirror Magic Master" from the GY# Synchro Summon "[[Lancea, thru Dragonic Ancestor of the use of Dewdark, Geomancer, Ice Spirit Mountain]]" by using "Georgius" and "Revealer"# Activate "Mirror Magic Master" to [[Tribute]] "Hexa Spirit" to Summon 3 "[[Ice Barrier Token]]s" and increase its Level to 5# Synchro Summon "[[Adamancipator Risen - Dragite]]" by using "Mirror Magic Master" and Cryomancer, but it should not be the main focus of the deck.3 "Ice Barrier Tokens"}}

Another variant can use one of the archetype's extenders to build a much powerful board, allowing the player to draw 4 cards, and getting a negate on board as its 5th Summon, thus playing around "[[Nibiru, the Primal Being]]".{{Combo steps| opening ="[[Revealer of the Ice Barrier]]" + 1 of either "[[Georgius, Swordsman of the Ice Barrier]]" or "[[Speaker for the Ice Barriers]]" + 1 card| end ="[[Lancea, Dragonic Ancestor of the Ice Spirit Mountain]]" + "[[Toadally Awesome]]" + "[[Ravenous Crocodragon Archethys]]" + 4 draws| steps =Typical Cards===# Summon "[[Revealer of the Ice Barrier]]"# Activate "Revealer" by discarding a card to Summon "[[Hexa Spirit of the Ice Barrier]]"# Activate "Hexa" to send "[[Mirror Magic Master of the Ice Barrier]]" from the Deck to the GY# Activate "Mirror Magic Master" to add either "[[Georgius, Swordsman of the Ice Barrier]]" or "[[Speaker for the Ice Barriers]]" (whichever is not in the hand already)# Activate "Speaker" to Summon itself from the hand# Xyz Summon "[[Bahamut Shark]]" by using "Revealer" and "Speaker"# Activate "Bahamut Shark" to Summon "[[Toadally Awesome]]" from the Extra Deck# Link Summon "[[Marincess Coral Anemone]]" by using "Bahamut Shark" and "Hexa Spirit"# Activate "Coral Anemone" to Summon "Mirror Magic Master" from the GY to the zone it points to# Activate "Mirror Magic Master" to [[Tribute]] "Coral Anemone" to Summon 3 "[[Ice Barrier Token]]s" and increase its Level to 5# Synchro Summon "[[Coral Dragon]]" to the Extra Monster Zone by using "Mirror Magic Master" and 1 "Ice Barrier Token"# Activate "Georgius" to Summon itself from the hand# Activate "Georgius" to Summon "Revealer" from the GY# Synchro Summon "[[Lancea, Dragonic Ancestor of the Ice Spirit Mountain]]" by using "Georgius" and "Revealer"# Activate "Speaker" from the GY to Summon another "Ice Barrier Token"# Synchro Summon "[[Ravenous Crocodragon Archethys]]" by using "Coral Dragon" and 3 "Ice Barrier Tokens"# Activate "Archetthys" and "Coral Dragon" to draw a total of 4 cards}}

==Destiny Barriers=Official Konami Decklists=== The technique following Decklists may or may not contain copies of this Deck is to facilitate cards that exceed the synchronization of Synchro Monsters of level 6 and 8, due to maximum amount allowed by the large number of level 2 Tuner monsterscurrent Forbidden & Limited List. These should not be changed, taking advantage of as these Decklists are copied verbatim at the ability to [[Destiny Hero - Malicious]], and a lot of Spell Cards to speed up the Deck with the effect of [[Destiny Hero - Diamond Dude]]time they were published. Destiny Heroes fulfill the Hero requirement and {{Decklist|Absolute Ice Barriers fulfill the Water requirement for [[Elemental Hero Absolute Zero]] making this deck extremely competitive.

Note, this Deck heavily relies on field control and hand advantage to keep using the Ice Barrier Synchro Monsters effects (except [[Trishula, Dragon of the Ice Barrier]]) Numbing Grub in full use.

Before getting out Brionac, it is wise to stall your opponent with monsters such as [[Pilgrim of the Ice Barrier]], [[Reese the Ice Mistress]], and [[Cryomancer of the Ice Barrier]]. [[Moray of Greed]] and [[Salvage]] make sure that you always have cards in your hand to use as a discard cost, and with a hand of Ice Barrier |effect monsters, [[Dance Princess of the Ice Barrier]] can clear a good majority of spells and traps without you needing to discard cards.

As such, "[[Dark Ruler No More]]" and "[[Forbidden Droplet]]" can often deal with an "Ice Barrier" board.* "[[Droll & Lock Bird]]" can be used if the player activates "[[Pot Medallion of Avaricethe Ice Barrier]]". This will prevent the search effect of "[[Mirror Magic Master of the Ice Barrier]]", and will most likely make their end board a lot weaker.* "[[Miracle FusionGozen Match]]" will prevent the player from Summoning more than 1 "Ice Barrier" monster.
